Recapping continues. I replaced the 1.5K 10W Candohm resistor with a 1.5K 50W chassis mount resistor. I was going to use a 25W resistor but the 50W was less than a buck more and I feel it will work better to dissipate the heat.

I'm using 1W resistors to replace the 1/2W carbon composition ones. I'm staying with replacing 1W with 1W and so on. In one instance, I used a 3W resistor instead of a 2W.

When I replace a component, I check it off my list, and then highlight it on the schematic. Helps keeps track of what was replaced and a "visual" of my progress.

I'm also checking each removed resistor for its value and the value of its replacement. If interested, I'll publish that list when done.
